Hi friends!
Another week of training down and I’m feeling especially excited this week. This past Wednesday, runDisney announced the WDW Marathon medals out of nowhere! Seeing the marathon medal made things more real for me. Now I can visualize what to expect at that glorious finish line:
From now until WDW Marathon weekend, I’d like to create a weekly training update post for a few reasons:
I plan on being as honest as possible about the ups and downs of a training season, and what it takes to physically and mentally prepare yourself for a marathon (or try at least!) So to start…
Hello, fellow WRFD readers,
I’m back on the East Coast and still on a high from my 5 days out west. Jake and I just hung up our Disneyland 10K medals and bibs with pride! I learned a lot about the ins and outs of the Disneyland races, and I’ll be sharing some tips here as well.
Hi friends & Happy Summer!
I kicked off summer ’17 with the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) 10K, the second event of three events in the B.A.A. Distance Medley. I ran the 5K in April and plan on running the half marathon in October!
For those of you considering a trip to Boston, I highly recommend planning a race weekend around one of these B.A.A. races. People of all ages and abilities are welcome, but as you can imagine it is a fast course, with even faster elites at the front. Some of the best athletes in the world come out for the B.A.A. races and it is so exciting to be in the same field as them. And I’m somewhere in the middle! Here’s my recap:
Boston Marathon weekend is arguably most Bostonians’ favorite weekend of the year: spring is starting to feel REAL after months of cold and snow, and the sun shines bright for our Boston Marathon guests from around the world.
Since I’m a charity coordinator for a Boston Marathon team and have plenty of other work obligations in April, I am so busy that I typically let my running fall by the wayside. This year I decided to make training a priority, especially knowing I have to stay in good running shape for my first marathon – the 2018 Walt Disney World Marathon! As a result, I signed up for the B.A.A. 5K, on Saturday, April 15th. This was a particularly special day to race, as April 15th is also known in Boston as One Boston Day, a tribute to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. It is a reflective day, but also one of hope and togetherness.
